[ That's right. It has been one week - less than one week - and Edgeworth is already bored and restless on vacation. So here he is. ]

A few items of business.

Wills. The risk of unexpected disappearance due to Porter malfunction is significant. Please be advised that, in the absence of kin or a legally recognized will, any possessions accrued in this world by a disappeared imPort will revert to the government.

I would recommend that all imPorts visit an attorney to write a will with them so that their possessions and funds either go to a friend or stay in the imPort community. I am willing to do this work pro bono; I have little doubt that other members of our legal community here would be willing to do so as well.

Please spread this offer to new imPorts when they arrive.

My thanks to April Ludgate for bringing this vital issue to my attention.


Employment. There are two primary difficulties facing imPorts if they choose not to register. The first is finding employment. I have been accruing a list of imPort-friendly businesses who are willing to hire unregistered individuals, and I am currently working on setting up a service that will help new imPorts find job placements. The first step is finding someone who will work as a career counselor and manager of this service; please contact me if you wish to apply for this job.


Fund. The second difficulty is, of course, finding money. It is difficult to sustain ourselves, being as we are refugees, if we do not have support from the government; those who reject government support are often at a loss.

To counteract this, I've set up a legally registered fund. This fund will make interest-free loans to any imPort in need of support.

The current endowment is $26,000. This is a paltry sum, as you can see. It is desperately in need of donations. All donations will be completely tax-deductible. One-time donations are appreciated, but continuing donations are even more so; I myself am donating 10% of every paycheck to this fund. It need not be so much; every bit helps.

Phoenix Wright is the other individual working with the fund. Contact him or myself if you have any questions.



Thank you very much for your time and attention.

Not everyone possesses that much faith, Edgeworth.

[But he regrets saying that almost immediately. He likes to keep his cynical side on a tight leash; when something like that slips out, he mentally berates himself.]

[glassinine]

[ A slight hesitation. ]

I take it you're among those who don't.

[godly]

[He pauses, considering how honest he wants to be.] I don't know how things operate in your world, or anyone else's. Obviously I can only speak for my own. But back home, there are various attempts to aid any given community, ranging from complex government support to small individualized charities.

But that doesn't stop people from taking advantage of the system. It doesn't stop any number of issues, of distrust, of selfishness. And that's just an example within the confines of one world.

Here, where there are people hailing from multiple, the task just seems infinitely more daunting. Do you understand what I'm getting at?

[glassinine]

I do.

Do you think those issues are sufficient to stop us from trying?

[godly]

No. That's not what I meant. It's just that the task is a bit daunting, isn't it? Like attempting to climb a mountain.

[glassinine]

I cannot say; I've never engaged in the foolishness of mountain-climbing, and nor shall I ever do so. But I don't think you're the sort to back down merely because a task is daunting.

[godly]

[A sigh. He can't argue against that; in fact, he was only arguing for argument's sake to begin with, as he is prone to do.]

You're right. I'm not.

[glassinine]

Good. So I can count on your help?

[godly]

If you require it, just ask.

[glassinine]

I shall do so.
